Team India won the first match of the four-match T20 series between India and South Africa by 61 runs, while the Indian team had a very poor start in the second match. Sanju Samson, who played an innings of 107 runs off 50 balls in the first match, could not even open his account in the second match being played at St. George’s Park in Gkebarhana. After facing just 3 balls, Samson was bowled by Marco Jensen without opening the account. Along with this, Sanju Samson also holds an unwanted record as an Indian batsman.
Samson has become the Indian batsman with the highest number of wickets in T20Is in a year.
Sanju Samson has now got a 15-year-old record in his name by getting out for a duck. In fact, Samson has now become the player in the Indian team who has taken the most ducks in T20 Internationals in a single year. The record was previously held by Yusuf Pathan, who returned to the pavilion three times without opening an account in T20 Internationals in 2009. While Samson didn’t even manage to open the account in this match, he has seen centuries with his bat in the last 2 innings, so this is not much of a concern for the team. Let us tell you that Sanju has become the first Indian cricketer to score a century in 2 consecutive T20 international innings.
